Steve Johnson Injury: Updates on Buffalo Bills Star's Week 2 Status

UPDATED: September 16, 1:03 PM ET 

The Oakland Raiders take on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and will be tasked with stopping one of the best receivers in the business. That task will be a little easier, as Stevie Johnson is reportedly nursing an injury. 

Many were worried the second they heard that Stevie Johnson had a groin injury and had missed practice.

Tweets like this one posted Thursday night had to spark concern about the Bills' chances for Sunday and beyond.

The Bills are off to a hot start, and much of that has to do with their emerging star wide receiver. Ryan Fitzpatrick is getting love as a prolific quarterback this week, and it has everything to do with Steve Johnson. 

Fitzpatrick was 17-for-25 on Sunday against the Chiefs. Johnson caught four of those passes, taking one 27 yards for a touchdown. 

Johnson will have to be at his best if he is going to have days even close to what he did to the Bengals last November. 

ESPN reports that Johnson has a mild groin sprain and is expected to play against the Raiders on Sunday. Bills fans can breath a sigh of relief for the time being.

You can just feel the wave of euphoria among fantasy owners and Bills' faithful as tweets like this began flooding in on Friday.
